'''Project:''' Abhiprayavedi

'''Version:''' 1.1

'''Sprint:''' 1 — Author Management

'''Status:''' Completed

'''Completion date:''' 28 October 2026

'''Release status:''' Version 1.1 remains under development

=== 1. Objective ===
Improve the creation, maintenance and discovery of author profiles while preserving the existing Version 1.0 publishing workflow.

=== 2. Enhancements completed ===
'''2.1 Author profile form'''

* Introduced separate Canonical Name, Display Title and Displayname fields.
* Implemented automatic construction of the <code>Author:Name</code> page title using the Canonical Name field and Page Forms' <code>page name</code> formula.
* Integrated Display Title handling into <code>Template:AuthorProfile</code>, removing the need for a separate <code>DISPLAYTITLE</code> declaration on individual updated profiles.
* Added a dedicated stylesheet at <code>Template:AuthorForm/styles.css</code>.

'''2.2 Author profile maintenance'''

* Corrected the existing author profiles to include their Display Title values.
* Verified that Display Title and Displayname remain separate and that Semantic MediaWiki properties continue to work.
* Confirmed that author cards, article bylines and article-to-author associations remain functional.

'''2.3 Editorial Dashboard'''

Added three author-management actions:

* View Author Profiles — opens <code>Category:Authors</code>.
* Create Author Profile — opens the form directly and constructs the canonical title automatically.
* Update Author Profile — provides category-based autocomplete, allowing editors to find existing profiles by Malayalam display name and open them for editing.

The dashboard was also adjusted to prevent automatic focus on the author inputs when the page opens, keeping the pending-article section immediately accessible.

'''2.4 Form presentation'''

Created a dedicated stylesheet for <code>Form:Author</code>, improving field spacing, labels, help text, input sizing and mobile presentation without changing the form's underlying workflow.

=== 3. Verification performed ===
The following checks were completed:

* Automatic title construction tested using temporary author profiles.
* Display Title and Displayname verified as separate Semantic MediaWiki properties.
* Author directory and author-card rendering checked.
* Existing published article bylines and author associations checked.
* Update autocomplete tested with Malayalam search terms.
* Dashboard navigation, creation and update controls tested.
* Form styling checked.
* Temporary test pages and profiles deleted.

=== 4. Architectural decisions ===

* Existing author profiles remain in the Main namespace, using the established <code>Author:Name</code> page-title convention.
* No dedicated MediaWiki Author namespace was introduced.
* The existing <code>Form:Article</code>, <code>Template:Article</code> and Version 1.0 publishing workflow were preserved.
* <code>CanonicalName</code> remains a parameter in <code>Template:AuthorProfile</code>; no change was made to remove it after title construction.

=== 5. Sprint outcome ===
Sprint 1 — Author Management is complete. The author-management enhancements have been tested without identifying a visible regression in the existing article publishing and presentation workflow.

=== 6. Next steps ===
Proceed with the remaining planned Version 1.1 sprints:

* Sprint 2 — Article Status Management.
* Sprint 3 — Social Media Sharing.
* Sprint 4 — Logged-in User Interface.
* Final integration, audit, documentation review and release preparation.

Version 1.1 should be declared formally released only after the remaining planned work and final release checks are complete.
